The bradford Pos, Omce.

Mr.. Chase of the Lyndon Union shows
himself ahundantly able to keep up his end
of the pole in the controversy with Mr.. At
kins over the Bradford post office case and
Mr.. Atkins attempts this week nothing that
can be called "A reply. The trouble with
him evidently is that what Chase says is
true.
The sudden death of Mr.. Geo. +. CAT
field, the late Republican incumbent of the
post office, at the end Of last week, was a
painful shock to the Bradford community.
He had long been in delicate health, he was
a sufferer from heart disease, and this, with
the nervous Worry and excitement over the
post office wrangle, caused his death. No
man was held in greater esteem in Brad
ford and none would be so much missed.
The public feeling was well attested by the
attendance of over 200 people at his funeral
which took place ON Monday.
Col Dickey has had help the past two
weeks from clerks sent, at his request from
the St JohnsbuIy and Brattleboro offices,
and will contrive TO keep things running
after fashion, but he is entirely untitled
for taking any active part in the manage
ment of the office, and will not try 10 do 50
beyond general oversight. His son, who
Is also his law partner, will he the response
bic man in the office, probably, and his
friends hope he will turn over new leaf
aud commend himself to the full confidence
of the community.
